June 1 Dolphin :)

/in , /by

With no charters scheduled today we decided to venture off for a family fun trip before the summer gets too busy for everyone to go… It was a sporty day for dolphin with all the schools hanging out under a ton of scattered grass…. lots of time spent cleaning up the spread but despite all that plus an afternoon gulfstream dive by the Capt and Mate under the boat to free up the wheel from a monster knot of rope…everybody came home with plenty to eat!  A special thank you to Pop John, Uncle Dougie, and Madison for going with us 🙂

Our Virginia Beach crowd wanted to target the dolphin today and they did a fantastic job getting these fish to the boat when it was time to go to work!! Way to go everybody!!  And a special pat on the back to our young anglers Clara and Katie – what a great job!!  Beth and Kevin, Ben and David… Thank you all so much!!  What a fun day and we hope to see you guys back soon!  Happy Memorial Day to everyone… A huge Thank You to all our veterans past and present for the tremendous sacrifices and amazing job you all do for the rest of us… you are heroes and are incredibly appreciated.

Congratulations to a great friend on his turkey quest in New Hampshire!!  Mother nature sometimes doesn’t cooperate but a driving rain didn’t stop the hunt… tough and patient perseverance resulted in the taking of a beautiful 22 pound gobbler with a 9 inch beard and 1 1/8 inch spurs…. Pretty Work Dan!!!

What an amazing season!!  We can’t thank our guys enough for all the fun and fantastic hunts this spring!!  What a great way to spend this time of the year… time in the woods and time with good friends – it really doesn’t get any better… Thank you so much to everyone!!  I have some pictures but not all… please send any additional pics my way and I’ll get ’em posted!!

  

 

 

Back to the Cove

Back in the water and ready for the season! Shiny and even a fresh coat of bottom paint 🙂

 

This year we have added a new trip to the repertoire – a “Deep Water Bottom Fishing/Trolling Trip“.  This Extended Full Day trip is designed to allow for the time and fuel required to venture a bit further from the beach than we are able to do during the conventional NearShore trips.  This will provide for the opportunity to specifically target different species such as dolphin (mahi mahi) and bottom dwellers.  It is not a classic deep water gulfstream trip – more of an “in-between” and provides the experience of fishing for a wider selection of species in a budget-minded package… We will have the “Trips and Rates” page updated shortly to provide more information… Let’s go fishing!

Spring Haul Out

The Fistful is up for a quick spring haul out… getting ready for this year’s season!!  New zincs, some clean up, and a little wax and she’ll be back in the water ready to go 🙂  The days are getting longer and the warm summer fishing season is fast approaching… We are saving days already – give us a shout if you know your desired dates and we’ll get you on the book!  Thanks to everyone for all the support!!  We are looking forward to another awesome season with everybody!!

This spring season is proving to be a productive one! Lots of beautiful birds out there doing their thing…what an incredible display to witness!  We are so thankful to be able to spend time in the woods during this gorgeous time of year… and to watch mother nature at her finest is an amazing bonus…
